Figure 1. Probabilistic parameters of a hidden Markov model (example) X — states y — possible observations a — state transition probabilities b — output probabilities. In its discrete form, a hidden Markov process can be visualized as a generalization of the urn problem with replacement (where each item from the urn is returned to the original urn before the next step). [7]
For example, a series of simple observations, such as a person's location in a room, can be interpreted to determine more complex information, such as in what task or activity the person is performing. Two kinds of Hierarchical Markov Models are the Hierarchical hidden Markov model [2] and the Abstract Hidden Markov Model. [3]
The GeneMark.hmm algorithm (1998) was designed to improve accuracy of prediction of short genes and gene starts. The idea was to use the inhomogeneous Markov chain models introduced in GeneMark for computing likelihoods of the sequences emitted by the states of a hidden Markov model, or rather semi-Markov HMM, or generalized HMM describing the genomic sequence.
The Baum–Welch algorithm was named after its inventors Leonard E. Baum and Lloyd R. Welch.The algorithm and the Hidden Markov models were first described in a series of articles by Baum and his peers at the IDA Center for Communications Research, Princeton in the late 1960s and early 1970s. [2]
There exists a range of different model classes and methodology that make use of latent variables and allow inference in the presence of latent variables. Models include: linear mixed-effects models and nonlinear mixed-effects models; Hidden Markov models; Factor analysis; Item response theory; Analysis and inference methods include:
For example, one of the solutions that may be found by EM in a mixture model involves setting one of the components to have zero variance and the mean parameter for the same component to be equal to one of the data points. The convergence of expectation-maximization (EM)-based algorithms typically requires continuity of the likelihood function ...
In statistics, a hidden Markov random field is a generalization of a hidden Markov model. Instead of having an underlying Markov chain, hidden Markov random fields have an underlying Markov random field. Suppose that we observe a random variable , where .
Pfam is a database of protein families that includes their annotations and multiple sequence alignments generated using hidden Markov models. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The latest version of Pfam, 37.0, was released in June 2024 and contains 21,979 families. [ 4 ]
